Kerry Washington married San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha on June 24 in Blaine County, Idaho, E! News confirms.

According to sports gossip site TerezOwens.com, which was first to get wind of the happy news, Mr. Asomugha has been dating Vanity Fair's August 2013 cover girl since last summer.

The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler played with the Oakland Raiders, who drafted him following his graduation from UC Berkeley in 2003, for eight seasons and the Philadelphia Eagles for two before signing with the 49ers in April.

This is the first marriage for Washington, 36, who went from generally lovely actress to mega-star over the past year, thanks to her breakout roles playing not-to-be-messed-with political fixer Olivia Pope on ABC's "Scandal" and Jamie Foxx's enslaved wife Broomhilda von Shaft in "Django Unchained."
